Do you buy so many games that it legitimately is a chore to buy them individually? Do you play them? (asking as someone with a game library that has a depressingly high percentage of unfinished games)

Edit: the downvote isn't for when someone's triggered. This isn't Reddit.

I don't use a so called storefront that lacks even the most basic features of a storefront.

Although Epic is definitely a front of some kind. Just not a store.

It is ridiculous they haven't put more effort into it. I'm just a fan of more of the money going to game developers instead of middlemen and gatekeepers.

The industry split isn't anything unfair, to be perfectly honest. This "the devs deserve more money" thing is just more union agitating if you ask me, and what's more Epic's split mostly goes to the publishers anyway.

12% to Epic is fair enough, no complaints there. And I love their advertisement strategy of paying developers in order to give away free games.

30% to Valve seems disproportionate and greedy though, which they get away with only because they have a near-monopoly.

Yes.

Sometimes I buy games that have a lot of DLC when they're on sale. I do like simulators, and sometimes they have a ton of DLC. So when buying in bulk, it's so much easier adding them all to the shopping cart at one time.

I used to buy individually but then sometimes I would run into the problem of buying the same thing twice. Steam is nice enough to inform you that you already purchased that item, though, so that's when I started using the shopping cart function more efficiently when buying multiple DLC packs.

I've never used the Epic Store to purchase things, but do they even warn you about duplicate DLC purchases the way Steam does?

That's a good point. Unrelated: DLCs are getting completely out of hand.
